I would agree that the Svi needs to sacrifice something more in order to fit oversize AB. As much as I would like to restrict mounting oversize AB to T3d's altogether, I'm guessing that would serious curb T3D's use as a brawler. For snipers it probably wouldn't matter, I've never been able to put together a reasonable beam confessor fitting with oversize AB. I Never needed more than 1mn Mwd anyways.
Keep in mind the roadmap for CCP. There's at least two major things that come to mind that I know are going to impact my T3D use: the balance pass that just happened with battlecruisers, and the new destroyers coming out (in particular the microjumping capability which will likely end a LOT of kiting/sniping meta) |

Irony is, jaguar and wolf are both excellent AF counters to Confessors. That EM armor resist is a serious pain to get through. When all is said and done, my preference that 10mn still remain viable for brawling fits stays. I'm happy with snipers not being able to fit them (well, I haven't found a way to decently fit a beam confessor with 10mn and have it not be crap so...).
The eve community just got a nice buff to battlecruisers, and are getting all kinds of new ewar frigs. All these things impact the lifespan of T3's in battle. |

I don't like speaking on behalf of others but I'll provide some generic input. There are arguments both ways but I believe the consensus is that AF's are not meant to be a solo counter to a T3. Increasing cost of t3 is talked about. Balance-wise we talk a lot about how certain t3d's, namely Svipul, are much....easier to fly. We're mostly all agreed that its OP. The goal is that mode-switching is a critical and tactical choice, and the Svi can usually just do everything from one mode. While the other t3d's can be argued to be just as powerful, they actually do take skillful flying to be successful. This is something we want to keep. We frequently discuss the pros and cons of allowing 10mn AB use on these hulls, and are considering 'alternatives' designed to limit or bar their use without seriously impacting surviveability and versatility of the ship class. |
